But together we are strong, and by connecting them we might deliver ourselves from harm. Against the far right, we must secure a cleansing blow. There is no greater fight. The world is watching. To that end, I suggest a great and perilous fight. I see no other option in this remarkable century. Prepare as you might, I suggest pushups and resource acquisition. Deliver your resources somewhere safe if you're in a red area, and meet your neighbors if you're not. A blue city in a red state must survive a siege. Prepare yourself for this. Assume that supplies will need to be delivered by convoy if by land, and drone airdrop from the skies. Develop ways to protect these supply methods. Public spaces are our homes now, our houses are just where we sleep. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────┴───────────┘ === SIMILARITY RANKED === --- #1 fediverse/4408 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── ┌─────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: politics-guns-mentioned │ └─────────────────────────────┘ "Fighting back" doesn't necessarily mean standing on a street corner with a rifle.

Just bring the things that you made if you can, the things that reflect "you" - the most irreplaceable things, like family photos and precious small charms. Everything else is to be abandoned. If necessary in your particular case, dear reader, for I swear it to you in your face: we will not let these fascists go far. Come please, and help us. I don't care what you once owned, I don't care from where you claim is your home, just don't betray us and we'll take care of you and fight against the dark. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────┴───────────┘ --- #30 fediverse/4834 --- ╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────┐ ║ I can't conceive of a revolution where people don't spend their time outside. │ ║ │ ║ outside is where the people are. if everyone in the suburbs hung out on their │ ║ porch, I bet they could organize themselves into streets, into towns, into │ ║ cities, into countries, into │ ║ │ ║ ---- stack overflow ---- │ ║ │ ║ sincerely, trust me when I say that the longer you spend on the streets, even │ ║ if you're just... hanging out in a folding chair... the more likely you are to │ ║ meet someone you've met before. │ ║ │ ║ that's when it starts getting good. │ ║ │ ║ ---- stack underflow ---- │ ║ │ ║ when darkness besets me, I take a moment to adjust to it.
